WillieThanks for the intrest. After the Hollyadays ill post some stories about some of the BB's that trained at the old Costa Mesa St. Zuver's Gym. Don't know if you know who Mike Glass is but he was a pritty good Bodybuielder in his day also got his start at our gym and was our gym manager for over ten years. He now puts on some of the top BB contests around. More to come in 2013. Well Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all.Robert Zuver

that's bodybuildings equivallant to the sistine chapel. inspired by michaeangelo. waiting to hear more from a true insider.

Funny thing happened this Christmas. My son and daughter in law were in a gift shop at a museum in LA when my daughter in law just happened to pick up a book and started flipping through it. The book was on LA history and as she glanced through the pages she came apon this old photo of Zuver's equipment factory in Costa Mesa. The photo was taken 1978 right after the original Hall of Fame closed down. I had never seen it before. What are the chances that one of my kids would just run across it like that. Intersting.RZPSThey gave me that book for Christmas , way Cool.

It's an awsome book with a lot of great history on LA. If you ever get a chance check it out. There's like 700 pages. That's what made it special that the kids just happened to run across that one page with that picture.RZ

OKQuestion!How many real weight plates does any gym need to decorate there place. Does the gym you presently visit have thousands of dollars worth of iron decorating the entrence? Back in the 60s Zuvers used more weights for decorating than most gyms of that time had in there gym. Here are just a few pics of what I mean.Yes, the Olympic bars were real.Yes, all the plates were real.Yes, all the equipment was real.Yes, Bob Zuver was obsessed with his gym being a one of a kind place.Yes, It was known as The Disneyland of the muscle world.
